WOW!! is all I can really say.
This is a beautiful quilt! She and I discussed design options and came up with feathers and leaves....it is hard to see in the pictures but the blue fabric has leaves all over the pattern...so the leaves were appropriate.
The cream background fabric is a great CANVAS for feathers.....It will be very hard for me to send this quilt back home.
I hope she loves it as much as she would have if she hand quilted it.
BLessings!
I quilted this on my INNOVA. No computer or pantograph quilting...all freehand.
I used Hobbs polydown batting.
Thanks for looking!

Gee-thanks everyone for such great encouragement and kind words!! I loved the quilt too, and really enjoyed making it-just never realized how great it would look quilted. I'm so glad I decided to have Charisma work her magic on it instead of hand-quilting it. I wouldn't have done it justice. By the way, it was from a book called something like "Two Color Quilts"-can't remember who by (I am still in Vanuatu so don't have it with me). Wish it was my design, but I am not that artistic or clever!!

HI everyone,
I posted in the original post that I used
Hobbs Polydown batting
I buy this batting because I like the look of it and I also love that it doesn't beard and I don't get any lint build up.
I keep this on hand and use it for my quilters. Some quilters choose to send me a different batting with their quilts. I will quilt with any batting they want to send and I try to post which kind of batting is in each quilt.
I personally have used all types of batting...for me it depends on the quilt..but mostly I use the Polydown because I like the look.

Another stunningly beautiful quilt, made even more beautiful by outstanding quilting. I am just amazed at how you keep doing these, each better than the one before, if that could be possible. You are both to be congratulated on a wonderful job.
